THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT WITHIN THE PROCESS OF UNIVERSITY REFORM

There is no legal frame for the implementation of the Bologna Process in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which means that the new Framework Law on Higher Education has not been adopted yet.

Nevertheless, the universities in BIH are trying to apply, on their own, the Bologna principles within various educational planes.

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



The University of East Sarajevo has begun its transformation in accordance with the Bologna Process in the following five basic areas (which are essential for the process of gaining accreditation).

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



These five areas are related to the:· Transformation of the organizational and managerial structure of the University· Consolidation of property rights of the University· Internal allocation of resources· Quality management· Curricula

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



In the year of 2005 the University has taken on several new projects, such as:· Distance Learning and Modeling of Virtual Universities;· Teacher Training in the Area of Information Technology in Accordance with European Standards (ECDL), · Tempus project: 'Quality Assurance System at BiH Universities' · Tempus project: 'Management of University International Relations Services'

University of East SarajevoCase Study: Faculty of Electrical Engineering

New CurriculumAccording to Bologna Recommendations

April 2004. – Version V1.3

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006


GENERAL CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CURRICULUM:

Three-tier organization of the courses (4+1+3);Number of courses per semester is 5, plus one elective course; each course should last one semester only;Weekly class load should not exceed 25;Practical exercises should comprise 60% of all classes;More time needs to be spent on the introduction of computer literacy and on the learning of foreign languages;

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006


GENERAL CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CURRICULUM:

Interdisciplinary subject matter needs to be introduced;Curriculum has to express flexibility through modulation of the curricula, with a possibility of broadening of an area by way of application of the credit system;During the realization of teaching process, students need to be guided and given assistance, not only given lectures;Emphasis needs to be laid on both partnership and cooperation with the users of the faculties’ services.

6. Type 2 test making, 2 tests x 4% 8

7. Second quiz evaluation 20

If p5+p6+p7 12, the student passes this part of the examination, grade II

8. Final knowledge testing 30

Student sits for final knowledge test if he/she has both grades, I and II.

AN EXAMPLE OF ACTIVITY EVALUATION AND KNOWLEDGE TESTING – MAXIMUM OF 100%

If grade I is a failing grade, the student cannot take the second quiz – i.e. activity 7.

Instead, a student takes the whole first part of the examination.

Passing grade on this part of the examination enables the student to enter the final knowledge testing.

7а. First part of the examination, grade P 70%

If P = 0.5 p3+0.5 p6+p7a 42 the student passes this part of the examination.

THE EVALUATION OF STUDENT LOAD

1. Introduction of courses

One can distinguish non-modulated systems (each course is considered separately) and modulated systems (several courses with the same number of ECTS credits, 5 for instance).

The load per course is determined on the basis of defined individual work assignments, which the student is expected to do in one course. Work assignments are defined in accordance with the knowledge, skills and competence that the student is expected to gain through the course.

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



2. The activities on the basis of which student

load is estimated

Each course is based on certain teaching

activities- work obligations.

Teaching activities: lectures, theoretical exercises, practical exercises, laboratory exercises, computer exercises, controlled project assignments, etc.

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



Learning activities and preparations: lecture and exercise attendance, specified short tests, practical and laboratory exercises, book and magazine reading, learning how to analyze other students’ work critically, how to find literature on the Internet.

Knowledge testing: oral examinations, written examinations, tests, quizzes, oral presentations, continual assessments through tests during practical exercises, etc.

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



The teacher decides on what the necessary time for each activity in the teaching process should be. Total estimated time should be equivalent to the number of ECTS credits per given course.

3. Students’ opinions on the estimated loadThere are various methods for testing whether the estimated load is appropriate.

Tuzla, 16-17/02/2006



Anonymous questioners are usually used: students fill in those while their course is still in progress or after it is finished and examinations passed.

4. The change of load or teaching activities and obligations

If it is determined that student load is not estimated well while teaching process is still underway, load (ECTS credits) and/or teaching activities and obligations should be changed.

PROBLEMS REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ECTS

PROBLEM OF THE BIGGER NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN RELATION TO THAT OF THE TEACHERS:

HOW TO ACHIEVE QUALITY TEACHING PROCESS?

THE NON-EXISTANCE OF SIGNED PROTOCOLS ON STUDENT EXCHANGE - THIS PREVENTS THE ECTS CREDITS TO BE IMPLEMENTED EFFICIENTLY,FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, ETC..
